What does it take to make a difference in the lives of 75,000 people?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applitools has reached 75,000 students enrolled in Test Automation University<\/a>, a global online platform led by Angie Jones<\/a> that provides free courses on things test automation. Today, more engineers understand how to create, manage, and maintain automated tests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Engineers Have Learned on TAU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Engineers have learned how to automate UI, mobile, and API tests. They have learned to write tests in specific languages, including Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and C#. They have applied tests through a range of frameworks including Selenium, Cypress, WebdriverIO, TestCafe, Appium, and Jest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

75,000 engineers would exceed the size of some 19,000 cities and towns in the United States. They work at large, established companies and growing startups. They work on every continent with the possible exception of Antarctica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Test Automation University possible? Contributors, who create all the coursework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
